It sounds like you were trying to complete the story as quickly as you could, (trying to skip through the cutscenes), to prove how fast you could complete the game. You're a joke! |
That's not really called for, is it?
I don't care much about the game nor this particular review but he's completely entitled to his opinion and a low score should be no means detract from the time and effort he spent writing the review. It's not like he just slapped a 5 on it and called it a day, he has justified his opinion and it's clear he has played the game, which is often more than we see from professional reviewers.
What people don't seem to appreciate is that there is not a universal, objective standard of overall game quality or game components. So debating with him about how the story is 'actually' good is completely futile, because even if you're 'right', he is under no obligation to weight that component of the game to any significant degree.
There aren't even hard and fast rules about how you should use a ten point scale. Maybe his idea of a 5 is the same as your idea of a 7, you just don't know. With that in mind I'm curious to know, if your feel problem is more with the content of the review or the number he put at the end? Would you feel any better if the content was the same but he gave it a 6.5?
That being said, if it becomes clear through the content of this (or any other) review that the reviewer's perspective and priorities are not well aligned with your own, then there may be no merit for you in that particular review, and that is fine.
It doesn't necessarily make him predjudiced, biased or a joke, it just means he thinks differently from you.
